LOCAL & GLOBAL MISSIONS WE SUPPORT:
The following are the Missions that Homeport Christian Church helps to support. This does not include the many outreach and benevolent needs we support as well each year.HEARTS FOR THE HUNGRY
Hearts for the Hungry is committed to assist those that are homeless/impoverish in whatever way we can as the Lord guides our hearts. We partner with several local businesses, non-profits, and other churches to provide food for the 80 to 100 people that meet for meals on a daily basis. On property that the city provides, we meet and set up to serve dinner on the 4th Tuesday of the month at the corner Granada and Bridge St with tables and chairs to provide a meal in a dignified manner. This is a great way to minister to those who are struggling. We make no judgment; we are there to feed whoever is hungry and provide love and care through our Lord. Whenever possible we have provided clothing, shoes, blankets, sleeping bags, socks, small bags with personal care items such as razors, tooth brushes, tooth paste, Bibles etc. Currently we are have two nights per month in which we provide all of the food, food prep, and servers. For more information about this ministry or if you're interested in helping to cook, serve, or provide food please contact the church office.
GOD'S KITCHEN
Dennis Childers - Directorgodskitchenputnamfla.com
Located in Palatka, FL, God’s Kitchen’s mission is simply to provide and deliver one home nutrition meal per day to adults who are permanently or temporarily home bound due to physical or mental disability. We believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy and valued life. The population we serve have life stories and unexpected illnesses and losses that have placed them in need for the services we provide. God’s Kitchen volunteers are providing them not only a hot meal but also contact they may need with another human every time we deliver a meal. We believe that it is our duty, as Christians, to simply obey God’s call to help these people and make people aware of this needs while respecting the dignity of each client.

North Florida Christian Camp
Shannon Kubisiak, Interim Camp Directornfcsc.org
North Florida Christian Camp and its staff seek to create an atmosphere that helps both youth and adults to focus their attention on the Lord Jesus Christ. Our programming is geared toward helping people make a decision to become a Christian as well as building Christians up in faith. This is achieved through accurate study and application of the written word of God and through living examples of committed Christ-like staff. By design, North Florida Christian Camp is a cooperative effort with churches, families and individuals of the north Florida area. This camp is a ministry tool to be used of God, to bring about growth and maturity in the lives of his people. This spirit of cooperation is evident not only in our summer program but also in year-round efforts for North Florida Christian Camp.

GLOBAL CITY MISSION INITIATIVE
Chris Marsden, Operations Directorglobalcitymission.org
Several factors are converging to change the context of global missions throughout the world, both in North America and around the globe. For the first time in history the majority of people on our planet lives in cities. We are more connected and more mobile than ever before through modern transportation and technology. The 21st century is experiencing the largest global migration in the history of the world. Jesus said to go to all nations, and now we have the opportunity to reach the nations next door. And while cities host increasing global diversity, one of the fastest growing religious demographics in North America is the non-religious.

Central Brazil Mission
Earl and Ruth Haubner, Missionariescbm.org.br
PROJECT AMAZONAS: CHRIST, LIFE AND HEALTH: C.B.M. with its “Project Amazonas: Christ, Life and Health” is giving much attention and emphasis to the Amazon Region of Brazil. A boat was purchased and remodeled and has been used almost monthly for ten day trips since March, 2000 when we made our first trip. The Amazon Boat Ministry is reaching and helping people that live in villages along the many tributaries of the Amazon River. A new medical boat (CBM Amazonia) was inaugurated in January 2012. The boat is equipped with both medical and dental clinics as well as a pharmacy that has most all medications that are needed by the villagers. There are air-conditioned sleeping quarters for over 25 individuals plus the top area for another 15 people that enjoy sleeping in (redes) hammocks. We take doctors, dentists, nurses, construction crews and evangelistic teams on almost all trips. We are providing better health and making possible a better life for these villagers as well as teaching them about Christ and planting churches. During these almost 20 years we have treated hundreds of children and adults. Many health problems have been solved, Christ has been preached, villages and lives transformed and churches started. There is a fulltime crew of nine (9) individuals plus two teens that go on each trip. There is a single missionary lady working with this project besides twenty (20) native missionary families in remote villages. There are now 25 “Project Amazon” churches in different villages.
In São Sebastiãon the “Greenhouse Project” is producing positive results. Helping church families with a better diet and health habits as well as producing a small income for each family.
The Haubner's our American Missionaries celebrated 50 years of missionary service in Brazil in 2019 and are looking forward to many more!
